Customise data feed

Is there any way to customise how data is displayed on the data feed? This is a very useful screen but I'd like to be able to choose which fields from the form are displayed (e.g. the job number) and the time and date rather than how long ago. 

If that isn't possible just now is it something that could be considered for the future? I'm looking at building a custom dashboard in the meantime but as the data feed is very close to what I need anyway it seems a shame to effectively rebuild it with just a couple of tweaks...
